Her dirty paws and furry coat,She ran down the forest slope.The forest of talking trees,They used to sing about the birds and the bees.The bees had declared a war,The sky wasn't big enough for them all.

The lovely fabric Watsonc7 claimed me for - I got to pick out the designs myself, and I already know what I want to do with each one. Don't know when, though.And as you can see she added the coins I asked for as extras, so now I'll always know how small US thingies are...

And from frosty772 the perfect pleated tote bag in my favourite colour: black! And it has extra long straps so I can wear it comfortably on my shoulder (as opposed to on my upper arm...). I love it!

Here is the lovely lining and a peek of the extras she included. Those grapes sure look good! I'll probably be drinking wine again sometime year after next...

Extras: a very bright water bottle holder for the baby's bottle next year and a cute little black and white cat wallet that comes just in time, because I was trying to find somethings for coupons!

Thank you very, very much frosty772 and Watsonc7, I really love everything!

ive managed to come down with the flu, son had it few days ago, daughter has it, her son has developed whooping cough, he just turned 4, and now hubby has it too. i left work early on thurs and called in today. i have not touched any of the claims cuz i dont want to germ them, nor have i felt any energy to think about working on them. i sent messages prior to the flu hitting me that id be late, it hit at work just after i had breakfast. grandson just left with his auntie to spend the weekend at his other grandma's, son is doing better, daughter is at work but its an iceskating rink and snowing, schools closing early and the scanner squeeks about many cars in the ditch and accidents. im heading back to bed in a while, i will need to go in sometime the weekend to make up some lost time at work provided i feel better and the roads are ok. im sooo ready for spring!

also wanted to comment on all the lovely claim items that are being posted here in the gallery! Watson how is the art journal coming along? what a lovely gift to receive. im sure we are all anxious to see a page or two. and what a sweet rainbow scarf Lady Rainicorn sent for your daughter Love the cat hoopla Jill got from Averia, it gives me ideas for hooplas, in that it doesn't just have to be one piece/idea per hoopla.And what a fun bingo bag for Frosty's mil! Pockets on the outside Im guessing for the daubers? Lovely hand painted scarf Anna for Eszter! And so cute on Bence! I bet he will love that unstuffed snake from Texscrapper and such a lovely bracelet you got from auntyhela.I gotta say that the pic of myloveasdeep with her cat eye glasses now has me wanting a pair of those type glasses for myself when I next need some new ones. The necklace from Anna looks great!Sweet fabrics Anna got in her claim! And some great bag/bottle holder/wallet with such cute kitty faces!I love to see all the things you talented ladies create

As usual, I am very behind on posting pictures - Zadok sent me an unbelievably amazing item and I really need to find an opportunity to photograph it, but I have to keep it out of sight of my daughter since it is going under the tree for her.

Here is the major spoiler package I received from rscowtown. Any one of these items would have been a wonderful package in and of itself, but no, she sent all of it as one claim.

Here is a cell phone holder that fits my brand new oversized cell phone perfectly! (I would show, but the camera on it is my goto camera for everything now)

A lovely set of coasters with the cutest little bowl/container for them. Though I may use the bowl on it's own because it really is adorable.

Beautiful snowflake ornaments! I really want to change my entire Christmas color scheme to blue and white and this will be a nice start on the conversion (if anyone wants to claim me for more, I would love to have tons just like these!!! well, or different... variety is good too ). The pictures don't show it, but the ornaments are made with yarn filled with silver sparkles.
